Long before Kerrygold was ever heard of - in fact, as far back as written records go - dairying has played a starring role in Ireland. In the old days, Irishmen kept cattle for milk more than for meat, and status was derived from the bounty of your herd.

How did cows become the cornerstone of Irish wealth? Simple. Ireland was made for milk. It has everything you need to make a cow happy: good soil, a mild climate, moisture-bearing southwesterly winds, and all the green grass you can chew.

It didn't take long to figure out that happy cows produce amazing milk, which can then be churned into unbeatable butter. As early as the 17th century, Ireland was sharing its butter with the world. Irish boats were being met at the dock by salivating Swedes, Danes, Portuguese, Frenchmen, Spaniards and American colonists - just as Kerrygold butter is today.

The butter is so appealingly golden that it looks as though it has been colored, although the color is natural, coming from the beta-carotene in the intense green Irish grass consumed by the cows. Made in the style of all premium European butters, Kerrygold's higher fat content gives its butter a distinctive richness. The foil wrapper preserves freshness and premium quality.

All Kerrygold products are made using microbial rennet, making them suitable for vegetarians.

Since I have discovered this product, I would never consider using any other.

Best butter ever!

I got the unsalted butter and flavor and texture are incredible. Flavor is fresh, buttery nutty creamy and with many undertones which give a full mouth experience. The texture is creamy. I love it when the butter comes from the fridge and is not hard but naturally creamy. Besides I do appreciate the health value of grassfed butter.
For comparison we had tried before other grassfed butters (from Germany, France, Belgium) and while they were very similar the Kerrygold butter stands out with a freshness in flavor which is unmatched by the others.
We also use occasionally the salted Kerrygold but salted grassfed butter is just taking some of the freshness nutty flavors away. It is still milehigh better though than conventional butter of any kind.

Wonderful butter

I am able to buy this locally, but at a much higher price. I will be buying from you, I already get my cheeses from you. The butter is really terrific, melted, with king crab, scampi, chowder, and escargot.

Creamy goodness!

I decided to use only "good" butter for Thanksgiving this year. Wise decision.
I'm hooked.
